Iran’s Holocaust Cartoons: The Latest in Holocaust Denial

It’s a good thing Iran is low on credibility these days, otherwise, the Holocaust “cartoon” website launched from the nuclear wannabe rogue state would be causing more than the current elicited outrage.

Otherwise, the Holocaust cartoon website launched from the nuclear wannabe rogue state would be causing more than the current elicited outrage.

HoloCartoons, launched last week in Farsi, Arabic, and English, is financed by an Iranian non-governmental “cultural foundation.” The cartoons are based largely on a Holocaust-themed comic or cartoon book published in 2008. The book contains satirical images and texts questioning the Holocaust.

The landing page opens to Henry Mancini’s Pink Panther theme and initial texts dedicate the site to all those “killed under the pretext of the Holocaust.” The site also refers to “the killing of 6 million Jews in the Second World War known as the Holocaust” as a “sheer lie.”

Internally, texts call the massacre of six million Jews during World War II a fabrication designed to allow Jews to grab hold of the Middle East and control its resources.

Site visitors click on swastika icons to advance along pages that depict Jews as beak-nosed murderers.

As would be expected, directors of Yad Vashem, Israel’s national Holocaust museum, were incensed over news of the launch:

The launch of a website dedicated to denying the Holocaust through caricatures and text is yet the latest salvo emanating from Iran that denies the facts of the Holocaust and attempts to influence those who are ignorant of history,” Yad Vashem directors said in a statement.

The vulgar and cynical approach of the website, a combination of Holocaust denial and distortion, illustrated with antisemitic caricatures, further illustrates Iran’s disregard for reality and truth vis-à-vis the Holocaust, Jews and Israel.

Although the website is not affiliated with the Iranian government — the organization that set it up calls itself “Bulwark of Faith and Thought” — Holocaust denial within the Iranian regime is not novel.

In 2005, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad referred to the Holocaust as a “fairy tale.”

It’s ironic that the descendants of yesteryear’s victims of corporate genocide are inflicting atrocities on people that exceed those experienced by their ancestors a hundredfold.

While the cartoon is an exageration, the atrocities committed by the Zionazis in the West Bank and Gaza Strip dwarfs those of the real Nazis. It’s such a shame too. Israel, unlike America, has a tradition of loving & caring; the Kibbutz movement shows there was once more to Israel than hate and greed. Israel has sold out to America’s greedy arms dealers who profit from the merciless genocide of the Palestinians. Israel needs to tell Lockheed, General Dynamics and the rest of the American corporate munitions machine to shove it and embrace the vaules of the Kibbutzum, and then Israelis and Palestinians will live together in peace.

Yes the wholesale extermination of the philistines by the conquering Israelites, aprox 3500 years ago is a terrible terrible crime for which all of us (i.e. Jews) should be put on trial at the Hague war crimes tribunal….Oops rereading your comment I realized you were referring to our treatment of the Palestinians…silly me.

“descendants of yesteryear’s victims…. are inflicting atrocities…that exceed those experienced by their ancestors a hundredfold”.

Dude, get a friggin life already…..its simple math. Jewish murder victims of the holocaust out number the entire LIVING population of Gaza and the west bank COMBINED…the Holocost was real, my dad and uncles liberated the camps in’45.

Palestinians are getting it worse? By what measure, what mathmatics, what standard?

Its all in your imagination. The Palestinians, like most street gangs, behave like ignorant, violent irresponsible thugs, and are in fact their OWN WORST ENEMY. You can can seek to blame “the man” forever, but the facts are the same.

“Merciless genocide of the Palestinians?” Laugh out loud funny
When did that occur?

Remember, the West HAS the capacity to incinerate all the Muslim holy sites, but we choose NOT to because its cruel and unnecessary (for the time being)

When someone can explain to me how…with ALL THE LAND MASS and ALL THE PERTO DOLLARS……. the muslim world is still stinking wasteland…All the while, a handful of Jews on a flyspec of desert somehow supposedly DOMINATES and HUMILIATES over 100 million other in the region….

its laughable, sad, and indefensible.

Get a friggin life already. And tell the rest your buddies too…

Its a real buzz-kill for the rest of us the productive world to have to deal with you ignorant children of satan.

VERY WELL SPOKEN ! It’s all together sooo obvious foolish this dumb Islamo Facism Propaganda. But none the less, a lot of self respecting intelligent western media is helping in poisening the minds of the massass.Be surpised if not with in a year from now some big bomb will explode in order to help make up Islamic minds. And they are begging for it !

Throbbin i presume the throbbin is in your head probably due to the little dangerous aneurysm that is just about ready to burst in your malfunctioning brain all the rubbish you wrote google the mall in gaza, the olympic swimming pool, roots restaurant. google education, infant mortality, life expectancy in gaza then tell me it hundredfold worse than the real nazis. I remember the telegram i received from my dead aunt in treblinka telling me that me that my little cousin was very ill and the nazis had kindly airlifted her to the German equivalent of hadassah hospital for treatment oh yes its all about greed it has nothing to do with hamas and the call for israels non existence or the rockets lobbed into israel from gaza or or or or etc etc people like you are exhausting nothing anyone can say will direct your hating brain to reality. you just hate hate and lie

Gotta’ go with Saskatoona, Throbbin, you aught to get that anurism looked after. Last time I looked there were no death trains full of starving, thirsty Palistinians. There were no “showers” packed with Palistinians. There were no mass graves full of dead Palistinians. There were no warehouses full of Palistinian shoes, glasses and clothing. There were no ovens being fed with dead Palistinians. No, in fact, all I see are rockets fired by Palistinians. Donkeys loaded with explosives loaded by Palistinians and hundreds of thousands of Palistinians in Jordan, Lebanon and Syria relegated to second class citizens still living in refugee camps for 40 years. Whereas, if Palistinians just made the simplest effort to denounce terror on the Jewish state they would be welcomed to participate in a true middle east democracy, unlike their supposed allies noted above. Throbbin, please don’t come back with your Islamofacist Kool-Aid talk any more. You don’t do your cause any good.

You see only what the corporate media wants you to see. The arms industry that the media is in thrall to has made Israel their toadie. They will not allow the truth to be reported. Why do you think the Israeli death machine merilessly slaughtered everybody on the Turkish floatilla carrying only food and medical supplies? The only possible reasons are they don’t want the Palestinains to have those things and they don’t want the truth to come out.

Followed by lying about all of it while blaming the decent, productive, caring and forgiving side of the world for driving you towards it from your humiliation in the fact that we even exist, thats YOUR M.O.

Arguing with a muslim apologist like is like playing chess with a chimpanzee…..

“Israeli death machine merilessly slaughtered everybody on the Turkish floatilla”

Everybody? EVERYBODY?

When did that happen? When were the (international law violating terrorist blockade running) ships SUNK with TORPEDOES.

When were the survivors machinegunned in the water?

How do you know the Zionazis didn’t find some stooges to play “survivors” in front of the TV cameras to cover the extent of their atrocity?

Why does this so-called terrorist blockade even exist? What are the Zionazis trying to hide in Gaza? Why did they murder a White woman, Rachel Corrie? What did she know? Why must all “information” you get about the West Bank and Gaza be controlled by Israeli gatekeepers? Those of us who belive in human rights have a good idea about what they’re trying to hide.

Arguing with a muslim apologist like is like playing chess with a chimpanzee…

I am not a Muslim, and certainly not a Muslim apologist. I defend opressed people everywhere.

What always amazed me about Europeans and the liberal left in this country was that Hitler made no secret about the fact that he wanted to eliminate the Jews. He even put it down on paper in his book, Mein Kampf. But Europeans and most Americans dismissed it as “just talk” or political bluster. But then those same people were shocked, shocked mind you, when the concentration camps were discovered in 1945. Those same Europeans said that genocide could never, ever, happen again after what they went through in World War II. Try telling the Muslims (those that are left) in Bosnia or Kosovo that “It could never happen again.” Of course it could happen again. Only this time, the mass murderers will use more powerful weapons.

It is obvious the Iranians are going for a nuclear weapon and it will only be a matter of time before they get one. Will they use it against Israel? It depends if the mullahs are still in power when they get the bomb. Iran is a country on the brink of civil war and if that conflict can take place BEFORE the Iranians get a working bomb, then all of this could be avoided. But if they don’t have a civil war and the mullahs are able to keep a lid on all of the discontent in that country, then Israel, as well as most of Iran, could disappear in mushroom clouds in the not too distant future. Hey Obama, are you listening to any of this?

We should be doing everything in our power to assist any and all covert operations to overthrow the Iranian government. It could be our only hope in avoiding a conflagration that will make Hiroshima and Nagasaki look like child’s play.

You mean: try telling Serbs in Bosnia and Kosovo (those that are left) that it could not happen again.
Kosovo (that was province of Serbia, it’s own territory) is now almost ethnically cleansed of Serbs.
Krajina in Croatia is almost ethnically cleansed of Serbs.
In area around Srebrenica over 3,500 Serbs were killed by Muslim paramilitary led by Naser Oric (whose own base of operations was in very same Srebrenica) before the Serbian offensive.
Muslim victims in Srebrenica are estimated to 7,000-8,000, of which only HALF is verified by exhumations, and it’s a known FACT that most of civilians fled Srebrenica BEFORE the Serbian retaliation resulting in offensive on Srebrenica, a Muslim paramilitary stronghold until that point. Muslims also used dead bodies of their killed fighters to present them as “massacred civilians”, where in fact, there are pathology reports (that mostly show gunpowder residues on hands of the dead) that confirm that several of those mass graves are entirely fabricated by Muslims to provoke the Western publics outcry against “animal Serbs”.
I agree that war crimes against Muslim civilians in Bosnia have been committed, but there were also war crimes committed against Serbian civilians, many of them very brutal (in the spirit of jihad). So why are only Serbs being pointed the finger at and being prosecuted for war crimes, when all sides committed crimes? Muslim jihad fighters from middle East(mujahideens), who were performing massacre campaigns against civilians, still live in Bosnia TODAY. Where is the justice for Serbs?
It’s not a genocide when ALL nations involved suffered casualties in a civil war. Especially in Kosovo, where around 2,000 killed in TOTAL are confirmed, on BOTH sides.
So please, drop the “innocent Muslims in Bosnia and Kosovo” or “genocide” propaganda and learn about these conflicts if you’re gonna use them to back up your statements.
Here are some links:http://www.kosovo-film.com/http://real-srebrenica-genocide.blogspot.com/ (not a genocide, but war crimes; on the other hand, if Muslims can cry out genocide, so can Serbs)http://www.srpska-mreza.com/index.htm
If you are interested in hearing both sides of the official story, follow these links.
If you are just another bigot, then I understand you probably won’t bother.

Were Islam in actuality a religion, why then might it properly be claimed that, there were “war crimes”. But inasmuch as, Islam presents a mere ostensible religious appearance as a cover for actualization as a criminal movement, “war crimes” claims are simple evidence of the one who presents as having confounded the elements—and of the resulting confusion in that one’s mind, . . .

Danish cartoons, anyone? I have had some of them made into window stickers and put on my car. No muslim has yet said a word to me about them. Good thing, too. For him.
Wake up, people. God invented war for a reason.

I say it’s about time for an animated or cartoon version of the life of the Pervert Prophet to be published on line. Obviously, it has to be on line ’cause publishing house employees would fear for their very lives otherwise. Let’s show them and their apologists their Pervert Prophet in the light of written history. There is no need for exagerated features or actions, just the truth. I think it would be a hoot. If I could draw and knew how to conceil my identity on line I would be first in. If they can turn suffering into a light hearted romp through history, why can’t we?

In place of illustrated history, why not a handy-dandy illustrated manual of Sharia Law? For instance, there’s the law that a proper Muslim may eat a goat and a law that a proper moslem may bugger a goat but a proper Muslim is forbidden from eating the goat he buggered.

Now all we need is an illustrator to show Holy Mohamed demonstrating his law to the faithful.

OK, its tiresome to debate someone as deluded as you, but its difficult to BELIEVE that YOU believe the things you say…

“How do you know the Zionazis didn’t find some stooges to play “survivors” in front of the TV cameras to cover the extent of their atrocity?

THREE BOATLOADS of survivors? All zionist stooges?…So then, THE WHOLE FLOTILLA ITSELF was a zionist plot?….A plot to do WHAT, get even more bad press for themselves? Do you really BELIEVE thats a possibility?

Do you NOT see how your hatred of Isreal clouds the even the most basic rational possibilities into an IMPOSSIBLY COMPLEX conspiracy, such as you suggest?

American lefties are not known to posess much COMMON SENSE.
DARWIN takes care of the TRULY STUPID like Ms Corrie, without needing help at all from the Mossad, thanks. To suggest this self righteous spoiled brat was ever important enough to “silence” is really absurd.

You are right, Muslims are an Oppressed People. They are oppressed by their own ignorance and hatred.

While occupying the Lions Share of the land mass, and nearly ALL of natural resource wealth of the region, they are somehow perpetually poverty sticken, bacwards thinking murderers of their own childeren. The bombs and shootings in the middle east are most often, muslims killing other muslims.

Yet YOU BELIEVE a TINY minority of “other” people, in a TINY sliver of land, are manipulating the workings of the ENTIRE world, just to humilliate muslims.
